Gentoo bugzilla software#

Find out how to install it on your Gentoo box at Gentoo/HaskellPlatform. The Haskell Platform is a blessed library and tool suite for Haskell distilled from Hackage. For more information, feel free to visit us at #gentoo-haskell IRC channel. There are ebuilds available both in portage and the #Gentoo Haskell Overlay. This means it's faster (presumably), more flexible, and we're more likely to maintain it since it's in a language we prefer and are more used to. It's written in our favourite language (Haskell, of course) rather than a weird conglomeration of bash and Python.

Gentoo bugzilla update#

It will be shipped separately to GHC, which means we can update it (ghc-updater has been frozen due to not wanting to cause problems with versions already installed, etc.).

That is, it will rebuild packages corresponding to the libraries listed by 'ghc-pkg check'.

Will also rebuild Haskell libraries that have had their dependencies changed (ala revdep-rebuild/reconcilio/etc.).

This can easily be extended if anyone decides to create Yet Another Gentoo Package Manager.

Now supports pkgcore and paludis, not just portage.

Work is currently progressing on haskell-updater, the replacement for ghc-updater currently installed with dev-lang/ghc. We also greatly prefer packages that are distributed via Hackage as it allows us to use automated tools.

Gentoo bugzilla software#

Though note that we generally only package released versions of software where there are tarballs available and where there is an expectation that the software will be maintained. We would like to encourage users to suggest any packages they feel are useful but are currently not included in portage.

There is a #gentoo-haskell IRC channel on for people interested in developing and testing haskell-related ebuilds.įiling bugs can also be used to ask for new packages or new versions of existing packages.

Bugs found in the overlay should be reported in the IRC channel.

Bugs found in ebuilds within the official tree should be reported in the Gentoo bugzilla.

Do not report errors in overlay ebuilds to the Gentoo Bugzilla! Support and bugs However, don't forget that like with all overlays, you use the ebuilds there at your own risk. See the Gentoo Overlays: Users' Guide for how to use overlays. Haskell has its own dedicated overlay containing lots of haskell projects. They are maintained by Gentoo developers, but are distributed separately from the main Portage tree. to an unexpected breakage on our database servers, several Gentoo websites are currently down. They contain additional ebuilds for Gentoo. In particular, this includes Forums, Wiki, and Bugzilla. 'Overlays' are package trees for Portage.

If you want the most up to date (but also most untested) packages you can use the Gentoo Haskell Overlay. There is support for some packages on ppc64, alpha, ia64 and hppa.

There is support for most packages on several architectures: x86, amd64, sparc and ppc. You can check the currently available versions of packages: There are also packages for other Haskell implementations like Hugs98 and Helium. There are packages for GHC and more than 60 other Haskell libraries and tools. Gentoo Linux has fairly good support for Haskell.
